Abstract
Fascia obtained from the abdominal wall of a rat was transplanted to the oral cavity of five dogs as a graft material for vestibular extension. In all five dogs the grafted fascia remained in place as the surgical defects were covered with epithelium, which transpired within a period of 4 weeks. After 6 months, the vestibular depth was increased significantly and the vestibule was smooth and regular.
